Economic analysis you can rely and act on
StratEcon is one of Africa’s most experienced independent economic advisory firms.
Since 2003 we have helped governments, businesses, development organisations and entrepreneurs make better decisions through rigorous, evidence-based economic analysis, for all project sizes.
Our clients range from national government departments and multinational corporates to development finance institutions, NGOs and small businesses. If you need a credible economic argument to inform a decision, support a funding application or test the viability of a project, we can help.
We help departments, municipalities and state entities produce the defensible, evidence-based analysis that underpins policy decisions, infrastructure investments and regulatory processes.
We provide independent economic intelligence to businesses that need to quantify their economic footprint, model the impact of a new investment or build the economic case for a regulatory submission.
We work alongside multilateral organisations, development finance institutions and NGOs across Southern and East Africa. We provide the rigorous analysis that development programmes need to justify investment and demonstrate impact.
Good economic analysis is not only for large organisations. If you need a market feasibility study, economic impact report or business case to support a funding application or licensing process, we offer the same quality of analysis scaled to your needs. Talk to us about what you need.
We specialise in applied economic research where we translate complex data into clear, actionable insights. Our work spans cost-benefit analysis, macroeconomic analysis, financial modelling, regulatory and policy research, scenario planning and economic forecasting, ease of doing business studies, microeconomics and ICT/digital economy advisory.
